The present number brings us to the end of j
the sixth year since the Gazette has been in
our hands—a much longer period we believe :
than was usually allotted to publishers of
this paper—during which we have endeavored
to make it a vehicle of useful information and
at the same time subserve the interests and
advocate the doctrines of a party with which
we have been connected for the last seventeen
r eighteen years. Though occasionally cen
sured by one here and another there—fault
found with this or that—and sometimes mis
. presented or abused—there is one subs tan- .
tial evidence that wo have never been far
wrong, namely, a good and steadily increas
ing list of subscribers, which assures us that
i.i the main we have represented the will and
wishes of the Whigs as well perhaps as any
other could have done under the same circum
stances.
There is however still room fur additional
support, and if we are expected to devote our
i.me and energies to the publication of the
.Gazette —in short, if the whigs desire to re
tain us in the post we have now filled for the
time above mentioned—it ought to be extend
ed not only by additional subscriptions, but ,
i v prompt payment of all dues to the office. :
Y.'e have for some years endeavored to make
' both ends meet" by paying in cash all ne
cessary expenses in the household or office, !
.mi! by some extraneous aid during that time,
have been enabled to do so, as well as replen- j
i-h tho office with an entire new stock of ma
t-rial. Now we are again entirely dependent
< n the receipts of the establishment for con
dieting its affairs as well as " our living,'"
auii under such circumstances it is hardly ne
i wry to say that we need all we earn, and
could well u e all due us.
We publish on our last page an address re
cently delivered by Rev. W. F. BRVANT in
deft-nee of Masonry, which will no doubt be j
read with interest by our readers, many of
whom were formerly, and perhaps are still, I
< ? posed to ihi institution.
Our adopted citizens, who were told that
Johnson and Buffington were in the city buy
ing up the native vote, can see by the returns
fronJ Philadelphia county that there was e
slight mistake in the names of the parties
treating for that vote —Bigier and Woodward,
:r their agents, having been the successful
ambassadors to the " churchburners,'' as the
.democracy formerly delighted to call a certain
faction. We suppose after this there will be
lens said of a coalition between the whigs and
natives than formerly, or :f spoken, it ought
to be with a blush.
Our friends, Thus. It. & J. McKee, have a
crop of turnips, which, for size, flavor anil
.quantity, probably exceeds anything of the
kind yaised in this county. Families desiring
a supply for the winter, can be accommodated
by calling on them.
A valuable cow, belonging to an industri
ous colored man, residing on the McC'lure
tract, a few miles below town, was struck by j
the cars on Saturday evening, and so much
injured the owner wts compelled to kill
her.

The Democrat says that it is authorized to
give a jlat contradiction to our statement that
an extra state flat, loaded with doubtful vot
ers, was put on the canal. We made the
statement on what we conceived to be good
authority, knowing nothing ourself oi the
facts in the case.
The mail steamer Georgia left New-A ork
last week for Aspinwall with 700 passengers,
including 100 laborers for the Panama rail
road. The steamer Prometheus for San Juan
had on board upwards of 400 passengers.
Ten stables and three horses were destroyed
tv tire a* Albany on Friday.
The State Election.
A majority of the people of Pennsylvania
have again decided that the acknowledged
mismanagement existing on our public works
—an increase of the State debt by prosecuting
costly works for the benefit of contractors
more than any one else—and heavy State
taxation, are features agreeable to them, and
therefore are to be continued until the voters,
in their wisdom, shall decide otherwise. It
matters not under what pretext this was done
—whether in the name of " democracy," of
party pride, or the " cohesive power of pub
lic plunder"—such, in our view, is the doei
sion, and it the Canal Commissioners, mem- .
Iters of the Legislature, or other State officers, ;
should take advantage of it, no lucofoeo tax- ;
payer at least can have the right to complain. !
if the Canal Commissioners now choose to
duplicate every collector's office in the State, i
create two or three assistant cargo inspectors ,
at every port; double the mud bosses and j
State fiats; if they choose to give Bingham
A Dock the carrying trade over the State Ca
nals, and thereby exclude every private boat- '
man : and to do whatever else may conduce
to make the rich richer, and the poor poorer
—no taxpayer who voted for William Hop- j
kins has the right to complain. 7/ has made '
his bed, and is bound to lie upon if.
This may be looked upon by some as an ul- ;
tra view of the effect of the late election : ■
perhaps it is, but is there not truth in it not- ;
withstanding, for where is there a man in our :
broad State who does not believe there is am
p!e room for reform in ail that relates to the i
administration of our government and legis
lation ? If there is no room for reform, how
comes it that a company of individuals, com
prising men who arc actively engaged in the '
transporting business as well as two or three
ex-canal commissioners, offer to lease these ;
public works and pay poor tax ridden Penn
sylvania one million of dollars net revenue per
annum, when it is well known that under their j
present management, they seldom yield more '
than one-third or one-half that amount? If i
such facts are of no avail to break the bonds j
of party, is not u vote at the ballot box an ap- j
proval of their mismanagement, both pu-i
and prospective?
The vote throughout the State is sraa I ],
and there is a heavy falling off in the whig
poll especially, which will however be brought
out at the November election, and ihus deter
mine whether the electors of Pennsylvania
shall again east their votes for one who, like
Washington, Jackson, Harrison and Taylor,
has rendered distinguished service to his
country. With proper effort and a deiorinl- j
nation to work steadily and earnestly in he- j
half of ecott, we think this can be effected,
for we are not a whit worse off now than we
were at the election in 1848, when the loci- ;
foeos had by fur a more distinguished candi
date, and much more worthy of their support
than their present nominee, yet Gen. Taylor
led Cass up wards of thirteen thousand votes.
And such may be the result again, if the
friends of Gen. Scott remain true to their j
Hag, and prosecute the campaign with becom
ing zeal. Let every man interested in his
election but see that his neighbor attends the j
polls on the second of November, and our j
word fur it that many a hamlet on mountain
side and in dale, will send forth its hardy
yeoman who has dwelt with pleasure on the
name of the renowned hero years ago, and
who will not desert him now when an oppor
tunity i; afforded to show that "Republics are
not ungrateful."

On Saturday morning, as a train of cars
was coming in, a horse of Mr. Collin", a
butcher, which was hitched to a wagon, be

sunk down, arid died in his traces. Was a

Recent Deaths.
Hon. John Chambers, formerly a member
of Congress from Kentucky, and more re- i '
recently Territorial Governor of lowa, died on
Tuesday afternoon, September 21, at the resi- \ ]
dence of his son-in-law, near Paris, Bourbon <
county, Ky. Governor Chambers was born 1
in New Jersey about the year 1779. At the i |
age of 13, be emigrated to the State of Ken- • <
tucky, and settled in Washington, Mason <
county. He began the practice of law at an 1
early age, and by his promptitude, energy, .
and ability, soon won a large measure of sue- j
cess. As an aid of Gen. Harrison, with i
the rank of Major, he performed gallant ! ]
service in the battle of the Thames, being j
one of the foremost in the pursuit of Proctor, j
During that campaign, an intimacy was es- j (
utblished between the noble commander and 1
his aid, which continued to exist through life. ]
The people of county on repeated oe- )
easions chose Governor Chambers as a repre- *
sentative in the State Legislature. In 1828 j
he was elected a member of Congress, served I f
that and the next year, and then declined re- j
election. In 1835 ho was rechosen, and 1
continued a member until 1840. While in , 1
Congress he acted with the Whig party, and
remained a zealous supporter of its princi- -
pies and men until his death. Upon the ac- 1
cession of General Harrison to the Presidency, ;
the venerable patriot offered his compatriot ,
in arms, in whose talents he placed great re- i i
liance, a foreign mission. This was declined, '
and subsequently, the appointment of Gov- i ]
eruorof the Territory of lowa conferred upon ,
him. In the exercise of his duties as Gov- *
ernor, and tire collateral ones of Superinten- j '
dent of Indian affairs, he manifested his usu- |
al ability and prudence. lie was eminently ,
successful in pacificating the aboriginal feuds I
to the west of lowa, and was often honored {
by the Indians with gifts, titles, &c. In 18 Pi
Clarke succeeded him by appointment of .
President Polk, and with feeble health Gov- (
ernor C. returned to his old home in Ken- '
tucky. The last public station he filled was 1
that of Ipdian Agent, which occasioned a ,
tour to Minnesota and tho purchase of a large i
amount of lands. This was under President '
Taylor, an early friend.
The Charleston Mercnrv notices the death j
at Castle Pinckney on the 28th September, of,
Brevet-Major John P. Roland, Capt, in the
2nd Regt. of U. S. Artillery. The deceased
was a native of Pennsylvania, and entered :
the service of his country at the early age of
11. as a cadet of the I . S. Military Academy.
- , i
Prom thence he was promoted to a commis- j ]
sion in the Regiment of which lie was a mem- <
ber, and served with it up iu his death. At '
the battles of Palo Alto and Resaca do la j '
Palma, lie was the Senior Lieutenant of Dun
can's celebrated battery, and commanded the j
section which under the orders of his Captain
did so much to secure the triumph of the .
Aim rican arms on the Bth of May. At
Monterey, Lieut. Roland commanded and i
served the howitzer which contributed power
fully to the expulsion of the enemy from the
Obispado. For gallant and meritorious con- j
duct upon these occasions, he was successively
breveted to the grades of Captain and Major.
Major Edmund Ross Riddle, his son pun- j
can S. Riddle, and his brother, Samuel S, j
Riddle, natives of Pennsylvania, died re- , 1
cently in Talladega county, Alabama, within
a few days of each other, of Dysentery. '
Major llidrlle, says the Philadelphia Sun,
was formerly a contractor on the public 1
works of Maryland, and subsequently, with
Col. Fremont, surveyed the Columbia S. C.
Railroad. His brother also completed va
rious contracts, amounting to several mil
lions of dollars, on the internal improve
ments of Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania,
and other States.
The Right Rev. Philander Chase, Bishop of
the Protestant Episcopal Church, died re
cently in consequence of a fall received in
traveling, lie was born in 177-7 —consecrated
Bishop of Ohio in 18i9, and resigned the
charge of that Dioccss some years afterwards
in consequence of pecuniary difficulties con- '
nectcd with Kenyon C liege founded bv him
r ...
—became Bishop of Illinois in 1835, and
there established Jubilee College. lie is suc
ceeded as Senior and Presiding Bishop by ;
Rt. Rev. T. C. Brownell, of Conn., whoso
health is fast failing; the next Bishop iu or
der of seniority is Bishop Meade, of \ irginia.
Gen. Tuos. JEFFERSON SUTHERLAND, who
figured here some years ago, as many of our
readers will remember, died on the 7th ult.,
at. tho lowa Mission House, in Nebraska ter
ritory. Gen. S. was well known as the leader
of the Canadian rebellion, or rather the troops
which commenced that outbreak. He was a
practical printer, a scholar, lawyer, politician, ;
editor, reformer, phrenologist, and Lieutenant
under General Simon Bolivar, in South Amer
ica, where he was severely wounded. He
had also traveled iu Italy and Asia Minor. ;
The Hon. Benjamin Hardin, the famous
" butcher knife whetted on a grind stone" of
old Kentucky, died a few weeks since, at
Bardstown, at a venerable age. Ho was a
man of talents and influence—twice in Con
gress, and a frequent incumbent of other
public stations. In debate, he was an ugly
| customer, and in political affinities, a consis- j
tent and reliable Whig.
John Yaaderlyn, a distinguished Ameri
can Painter, died at Kingston, N. Y'., week
before last, aged 7} years. He painted " Ma
rius among the ruins of Carthage" at Koine
many years ago; and the picture of the
Landing of Columbus" in the Rotundo of
the Capitol at Washington, is also by his pen
cil.
The Whigs of Cambria county recently
held a meeting at Jefferson, Ralph Bogle,
Esq., President, when a pole, measuring two
hundred and twenty feet, was raised.
The Law of Obstructions on Railroads.
Judge Gibson, in a case tried at Pittsburg
before the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania,
where a suit was brought to recover of the
Erie Railroad the price of au animal which
had been killed on tho road, laid down the
doctrine that "an owner of cattle, killed or
injured on a railway, has no recourse to the
company or its servants; and that he is lia
ble for damages done bv them to the company
or the passengers." The Court below had
given a different judgment, and Judge Gibson,
in reversing it, said :
"The irresponsibility of a railway company
for all but negligence or wanton injury, is a
necessity of its creation. A train must* make
the time necessary to fulfil its engagements j
with the post-office and the passengers ; and
it must lie allowed to fulfil them at the sacri
fice of secondary interests put in its way, else
it would not fulfil them at all. The maxim
of " saltts populi" would be inverted, and the
paramount affairs of the public would be
postponed to the petty concerns of the indi
vidual. Every obstruction of a railway is
unlawful, mischievous, and abatable at the
cost of the owner of it, without regard to his :
ignorance or intention. The lives of human
beings are not to be weighed in the saun.
scales with the lives of a farmer's or graz
ier's stock; and their preservation is nut to !
be left to the care which a man takes of his
uncared for cattle."
Attack of Savage* upon an American Brig.
—We learn by private letters from Rio de Ja
neiro that the American Brig Mary Adeline,
A. Oaksmith, of New York, master, arrived
at that port on the 9th of August, from the
coast of Africa, where she hyd a most peril
ous and thrilling adventure with savages on
the river Congo. She was hound into the
river, with a valuable cargo from Rio Janeiro,
and, on rounding Shark Point, unfortunately
got aground near the shore. The natives
seeing her helpless condition, flocked to the
shore to plunder the vessel, and. in the course
of the day, their numbers amounted to some
three thousand. They made a furious and
savage assault on the vessel, which was most
bravely and gallantly defended by Captain
Oaksmith and his crew for some hours, tillt'ie
British armed brigautine Dolphin, which was (
fortunately in the river, came to his rescue,
and saved the \e. - 1 and cargo, and the lives
of all on board, though not without the los
of life on tb< part f the savages. On the
following day the British steamship Firefly
came into tic river. apd promptly rendered
every possible aid, together with the Dolphin,
to relieve tin M -.ry Adeline, which was a:
length got aflogt, and enabled to pursue her
voyage without much loss or damage.— New
